WE REALLY HAVE TO GET RID OF ONE OF THE BIG CONTRACTS. with the emergence of our younger core, we really need to do something to keep it. I have been pushing for Biedrins for a while now and he is finally proving why he deserves the starting job. if we dont get rid of either foyle, dunleavy, or murphy, we are gonna have to lose about 2-3 of our younger players. If we lose ellis, biedrins, pietrus, i think we will end up regretting it in the future. our starting lineup can be davis at 1 ellis at 2 jrich at 3 diogu at 4 and biedrins at 5, gives them many more years to get that chemistry

I agree, Pietrus and Ellis are the ones who will most likely be gone by the offseason if we keep these bloated contracts. If anything though I'd rather have Biedrins and Ellis rather than Biedrins and Pietrus.

After the Gilbert Arenas fiasco, I doubt Chris Cohan will be able to survive another one of those episodes, in the eyes of the public. Ellis is a fan-favorite, a terrific player, and worth shelling out cash for.

If Cohan gives a **** about what Warriors fans think of him, he'll extend Ellis.

Since the team does have Baron and JRich, Monta is not as valuable as Biedrins, who is the only real good Center and shot blocker on the team. That doesn't mean that everything shouldn't be done to resign Ellis but if it looks like he won't be resigned, he should be traded along with one of the bad contacts

We have to resign Monta and we should definitely sign Biedrins. Of course consistant with Warriors luck, they will both have great years this year to price them out of our range. Mullin won't have the balls to trade a fellow pale SF and keep Dunleavy, no one will take Foyle and Murphy will stay. Baron Davis will be injured half the year along with another key injury that will keep the Warriors out of the playoffs but assure that we lose half our young players. I hope to god this does not happen but judging by Warrior history this is the most likely scenario.

Mullin will keep the young core. There is absolutely no reason he shouldn't, cap issues included. If we need to go with 6-7 well paid athletes and fill the rest of the roster with NBDL scrubs/undrafted rookies then so be it ***030***

Truth is, it's all about money and Cohan might value keeping some rather than spending more just for winning more. He might see that he wouldn't make a significant amount more money or actually not make more money if he spends more on contracts.
